Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef
- 12 slider buns
- 6 slices cheddar cheese (halved)
- 2 tbsps butter (melted)
- 1 small onion (diced)
- Salt (to taste)
- Pepper (to taste)
- Pickles (optional)
- Lettuce (optional)
- Tomato (optional)
- Ketchup (for serving)
- Mustard (for serving)
Instructions
- Warm the oven to 350F (175C), preparing a greased baking dish for the upcoming culinary creation.
- Sauté ground beef and onions in a skillet over medium heat, carefully seasoning with salt and pepper until the meat browns thoroughly and develops rich flavor.
- Distribute the cooked beef mixture uniformly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish, creating an even foundational layer.
- Arrange cheese slices directly atop the beef mixture, ensuring complete coverage for maximum melting potential.
- Position slider buns gently over the cheese layer, then delicately brush the top surfaces with melted butter to enhance golden crispness.
- Transfer the assembled dish into the preheated oven, baking for 10-12 minutes until cheese transforms into a luxurious molten state and bun tops acquire a warm, golden-brown appearance.
- Carefully extract the baking dish from the oven, allowing a brief cooling moment before separating into individual sliders.
- Complement the sliders with classic accompaniments such as crisp pickles, fresh lettuce, ripe tomato slices, tangy ketchup, and zesty mustard according to personal preference.
Notes
- Opt for lean ground beef to reduce excess grease and create a healthier slider base.
- Customize cheese varieties like sharp cheddar, pepper jack, or Swiss for different flavor profiles.
- Prepare sliders ahead of time and refrigerate before baking, perfect for meal prep or party planning.
- Toast bun tops lightly before assembling to enhance their texture and prevent sogginess during baking.
